Q

what other hepa virus are associated with HDV???

A

Associated exclusively with HBV infections, either as a co-infection or as a superinfection.

28
Q

TOF

HDV replication are complete RNA viruse and can cause infection by itself

A

FALSE

Replication are defective bcos it is incomplete RNA, unable to cause infection by itselg

29
Q

TOF

HDV are dependent on HBV for expression and Pathogenicity

30
Q

TOF

Hepa B can cause Hepa D, but not other way around?

31
Q

HBV + Delta Virus =??/

A

HDV

(this is the only way you can acquire Hepatitis D virus)

NEED NG HBV! kahit may delta pero wlang HBV womp womp will not be a HDV virus

32
Q

what is the replication mechanism of HDV??

A

Reverse Transcription (Force the host’s RNA polymerase to transcribe the HDV RNA genome)

33
Q

where HDV can be commonly seen?

A

Intravenous drug users and Hemophiliacs

34
Q

Prevention for HDV

A
  • No vaccine is available.
  • The only means of preventing hepatitis D infection is to
    prevent HBV infection.
35
Q

MOT of HDV

A

Parenteral and Sexual

36
Q

TOF

HDV signs and symptoms are similar with HAV

37
Q

Markers to know if HDV is coinfected or superinfected with HBV

A

Coinfection: + for both ANTI-HDV and IgM ANTI-HBc

Superinfection= + ANTI-HDV and IgG ANTI-HBc

38
Q

Lab diagnosis for HDV

A
  • Indirect ELISA
    o ANTI-HDV
    o ANTI-HBc
  • PCR
  • Clinical findings which are similar with HBV infection.
39

Q

Incubation Period of HEV

46
Q

what is the course of infection of HEV

HEV

rapidly progressing disease and a high mortality rate; occurring more commonly in pregnant women.

A

Fulminant Hepatitis
